Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pembroke College I may be permitted to refer here to my larger History of Pembroke College, issued in 1897 by the Oxford Historical Society. Self-abridgment is perhaps the most tolerable form of plagiarism; but when undertaking the present volume in Mr. Robinson´s Series I hoped - I do not know with what success - to avoid making it a mere compendium of the other. But for this embarrassing fear of crambe repetita the modern part might have been lighter and more anecdotal. I have been glad of the opportunity of correcting some errors, making some points clearer, adding a little new material, and presenting the annals of the College in an easier, more succinct, and more chronological and straightforward form. There is really not much story to tell, and the thing of most interest about a College must still be, in most cases, to recall who and what manner of men have first tasted the vernal life of manhood within its walls, and carried its influences into the outer and larger world. I have usually tried to indicate the men of eminence who were up together; for example, Heywoode and Bonner, Beaumont, Pym, and Corbet, Shenstone and Whitefield, or Lovell Beddoes and Hawker of Morwenstow.
